Associate Editor ETHEL B HALGREN. Buaineaa Manager SHERMAN LLOYD Speedway Threatened by Sherm Lloyd practice of the fumed Bonneville Speedway are being questioned from several directions. Not the least of the criticism is Ihe charge th it a can.il system supplying brine to the Wendover potash plant .s threatening ihe usefulness of the speedway.subA recent .article in u 'Mion.i magazine on the ject is upl in ga neriite none heat than light, unless some concrete and immediate steps are taka n to get all the facts of the situation The past racing season has seen many recod seekers sitting on the sidelines waiting for reserved lime on the Speedway to run out even though mach nes time ware wrecked beyond repair. Certainly both Tooele County and the slate should be ptateful to the men whose foresight and effort resulted in the Bonneville Speedway gaining its worldwide reputation lor both its safety and its records. But the Bonneville Speedwuy is in a new e'a. A new and extended look is now needa'd at all facets of the speedway operation. Ou the one hand some observers say its usefulness as a scene of speed record at tempts is badly threatened and immediate steps are needed to rectify a rupidly deteriorating physical tr. ck situation. Yet on the other hand, with proper management, other observers feel that the present Pack can be extended to as much as 30 miles of racing surface. A great deal is at stake particularly when it is red that the brief racing se. son on the famed lie Salt Flat speedway probably contributes more publicity than all of the money spent by the legislature and other organizations combined. Rumors persist that the National Space Agency has its eye on the Wendover area for a space port, for landing space vehicles. If the present speedway surface can be substantialthen Utah will have a big talking point extended, ly when the time comes that a surface that can take speeds approaching the speed of sound is needed either for landings or more likely for takeoffs of new types of space vehicles. Certainly scientists cannot long ignore either the unusual characteristics of the salt surface or the fact that many tests have been run the hardway, and will continue to be if the surface is there, of both tires, wheels and other equipment, applicable to the space age of high speeds. The rocket age even in land records is about to dawn, and the technology cannot but have other applications in addition to new land speed records. The Governor, the Legislature or at least a cooperative group of interested parties now involved, needs to get a permanent study group together to look at the scientific and economic aspects of managing the Speedway as well as making it possible for anyone that has a legitimate reason to utilize it for a useful purpose to have a better chance than at present to take their turn. Its economic impact on Tooele County, particularly on the Wendover area is important. Its an asset to both the State and the Nation that needs to be preserved now. Present Nine and one half million dollars per year is now being spent on construction of buildings in Utah at State rxpense. All of this comes from a one-hacent State ear marked tales lax. THERE ARE two proposals before Ihe stale legislature to increase these expenditures for buildings. The first Is the Governor's bonding program which d has passed the House and, at thia writing, Is in the Senate. This program would immediate million of ly raise sixty-fivfunds which could be used, as dictated, for annual construction up to $25 million dollars per year. Under the program, of the tales the tax would be terminated, and the full faith and credit of the State would be placed back of the bonded debt. The second proposal it one which was supported by Republicans in the House and is renewed in similar form in the Senate. This allows borrowing con-sid- e from four to six years against Bon-ne- v tales the current tax. which would permit borrowing of S40 million or more to allow accelerated spending and would allow the state build' ing board to enter into long range contracts, not possible to day. Supporters of this second pr6 posal hold that this would void the likelihood of extended bonded debt and that all critical building needs could be met. AT LEAST two proposals to amend the State Constitution will be on the ballot at the gen era! election in 1966. Both houses of the legislature have passed, with support of the Governor, a resolution of place before the voters a proposition to call a Constitutional the state Convention to Constitution. The proposal has been presented before the legislature many times before, but has always been defeated. Senator Rendall Maby of Davis County led a spirited attempt which narrowly failed ter years ago. SUPPORTERS OF the proposal say the present Constitution is far too detailed, and as a genshould be eral blueprint to replace the rigid and voluminous detail which they feel have no place in a Constitution, but which the mot iff of the occasion.

Aud so, while the 1966 election will not have the excitement of the 1964 contests for President, United States Senator or Governor, the proposals to change the State Constitution will be the substitute in full dress debate. DOUG" TAYLOR'S victory over frustration.' The second proposal to be placed on the 1966 ballot Is to amend the Constitution. This proposal has an interesting history with a moral. It would allow metropoli tan government. Many new members of the legislature report they feel frustrated during their first session. Perhaps this is so because as private citizens, the answers seemed so easy and exciting but once inside the legislature, the problems became so perplexing and the answers so elusive. Or perhaps it is that they did not realize they would be assigned to work with dozens, even hundreds of hard- - to-- understand bills and resolutions In which they had no personal Interest. THUS, RATHER then being stimulated by accomplishment in their favorite legislative interests, they become trapped by routines outside these - This Is quite a twitch fronr of many cithe tizens that legislators sit in judgment on great issues of their own choosing, spending the evenings dining by candlelight as they resolutely resist -as every statesman must the blandishments of lobbyists who drip with money and gifts with which to buy votes for special interests. It can be frustrating for a new legislator, who during the campaign has made great state-ment- s on how to solve the problem of education, to find that he has but little influence in making the final decision, is seldom called on for advice or comment, and that his wisdom in the matter Is almost totally ignored. BUT THE frustration nearly always turns into increased admiration for the democratic pro cess and pride in being able to participate; because those moments of excitement and personal participation do come, and when they do they are remembered and appreciated as having a greater value because they are rare rather than common. A shining example is the rather memorable passage during the fourth week of Senator G. Douglas Taylor's (Rep. Salt Lake) Metropolitan Govern- - ment" bill.

This is Doug Taylor's seventh session, legislative regular stretching back nearly fourteen years of uninterrupted service. He has also carried heavy responsibility on the Utah Legislative Council. It was 10 years ago, while a member of the House, that he first started working on ways to improve the economy, efficiency, and performance of local government. At that time, he introduced a bill to set up a local government survey com-- , mission with a $25,000 appropriation and two years duration. The bill was signed by Governor J. Bracken Lee, but not until after the $25,000 appropriation had been subjected to a long series of y r,. but a resolution to amend the raise the ceiling from live per Constitution and it will go becent to seven per cent, would fore the voters in November, raise income from this source 1966.

Eight passed. The rest failed, principally due to legislative exhaustion. The Metropolitan Government Bill was one that failed, but only by one vote. Opposition came principally from municipal job holders who felt their jobs were in danger. Taylor introduced the bill into the House again in 1959. It died in sifting committee. He introduced it again in 1961. Again it died in sifting committee. BY THE 1963 session, Representative Taylor had become Senator Taylor. He took a private poll of the Senators and found he had the horses. This year, the bill received a new champion in the new. Governor, Calvin L.
